 note = {Histological observation was undertaken with the light and electron microscopes for the
diverticula of the midgut gland in the prawn P.japonicus. Epithelial cells except for the distal
portion of the diverticulum were classified morphologically into three typed cells, light, dark
and vacuolated. At the end area of each diverticulum, undifferentiated cells were distributed.
After 30 days of starvation, the cavity in the midgut gland developed enlarged openings of
primary and secondary diverticula which suggesting a drastic change of the construction.
Further, a cellular transition from the light cell to the vacuolated cell was indicated in the result
of computing estimation concerning the distribution frequency of each typed cell. It was
deduced that the light cell was transformed to the vacuolated cell under a critical condition such
as long-term starvation.},
